The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres both had successful Rivalry Weekends, sweeping their respective series. The two teams atop the National League West are separated by only half a game as they head into what will surely be an entertaining matchup beginning Monday night at Petco Park in San Diego.
On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from Rivalry Weekend and preview the NL West showdown between the Dodgers and Padres, including Shohei Ohtani getting his explosive bat back to standard form after a monster series in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. They also react to the Subway Series, which saw the New York Mets take two of three from the New York Yankees following a shocking bullpen meltdown by the Bronx Bombers in the bottom of the ninth that allowed the Mets to walk it off in the 10th inning.
Later, Jake and Jordan recap the beloved POOP series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates, which saw the City of Brotherly Love sweep its in-state rivals and continue its winning ways under new manager Don Mattingly. They then get into the Tarps Off phenomenon that took place at the St. Louis Cardinals game this weekend, the Chicago White Sox taking the series against the Chicago Cubs and a look at all the other weekend results.
